American Civil Wars by Alan Taylor
A Pulitzer Prize winner's masterful history of the American Civil War and its reverberations across the continent
"Taylor..offers compelling new insights....[His] transnational approach reveals the often unnoticed connections between America's war over slavery's future and the concurrent battles for individual rights in Mexico and Canada. " -- Amanda Brickell - The Wall Street Journal
"Taylor is a formidable historian and masterly writer. He briskly disposes of some persistent myths about the Civil War,…[and] as for anyone who believes that the current turbulence on the U.S.-Mexican border is an anomaly, they will be edified by Taylor’s account of how Texans attacked Mexico for offering freedom to runaway slaves." -- Thomas Ricks - The New York Times
"A mountain of historical studies testifies to enduring interest in the American Civil War… Those doubting that there is anything fresh to say about the bloodiest event in the republic’s history should read Pulitzer Prize winner Alan Taylor’s brilliant, panoramic account of the conflict." -- Richard Carwardine - Literary Review
